Small Space Organization Tips for a Minimal, Beautiful Desk Setup

Before my current desk setup, I had a small, 31.5″ foldable desk tucked into a little corner of my bedroom (see this Instagram highlight for more on that setup!), so even though I have a lot more space now, I’m still in a New York City 1-bedroom… which means this desk setup is also tucked into a corner in my bedroom! No matter how much or how little space you have, small space desk tips can help you stay organized and your desk area look neat. Here are my top tips for organizing in a small space!

Maintaining Habits and Routines Through Self-Care

I recently was asked to write a guest post on the Official Bullet Journal blog (!). Reflecting on how to use self-care to maintain habits and routines, this post walks through the system I’ve developed to support myself, as well as lots of tools and resources to help you devise your own self-care based productivity routine. I’m excited to hear what you think! Here’s a little excerpt…

Too often, we can get caught up in tracking a million little things, from water intake to hours of sleep, and the process turns into something that feels weighty and full of pressure. If this is you, you aren’t alone! We’re so used to habits, new year’s resolutions, and other self-betterment techniques that feel punishing and use negative thinking as a way of finding motivation. I don’t know about you, but the habits I tried to work on because I felt I “had to” do them never stuck; instead they felt forced.

But the spirit of Bullet Journaling, where we’re about progress over perfection, has been a great way to help me rethink my habits, and I hope it can help you too. Being more reflective, gentle, and positive can make all the difference in keeping up with habits and building routine—here are some of my favorite tools and techniques to infuse that spirit into your own process and Bullet Journal…

PS. If you’re interested in this topic, I delve into a lot more detail in my ebook!

January 2022 Dashboard

I’m trying a new series on my blog reflecting on my different spread ideas and layouts!

I’ve really missed being able to talk with you all about bullet journaling, so hopefully this will be a way to make that happen more easily.
